Oxalyl chloride → TETRAHYDROPYRAN-2-CARBONYL CHLORIDE

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tetrahydro-pyran-2-carboxylic acid (6.94 g, 47.96 mmol) in DCM (200 mL) are added oxalyl chloride (4.81 mL, 56.83 mmol) as a solution in DCM (50 mL) and DMF (3 drops). The reaction is stirred at room temperature for 18 h, then concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 7.1 g of tetrahydro-pyran-2-carbonyl chloride, which is used in the next step. Yield: 99%; by 58° C., 1 mm Hg; 1H NMR (250 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 1.49-1.98 (5H, m), 2.02-2.19 (1H, m), 3.46-3.66 (1H, m), 3.96-4.12 (1H, m), 4.24 (1H, dd, J=9.14, 3.20 Hz)
